Dear Members,

We have closely monitored the storm and have decided to keep the Club closed for the remainder of the day, Wed Mar 11th. All Evening draws are cancelled today - 5:00, 7:00, & 9:00PM.

All doors will be locked and we ask that you please stay out of the parking lot to allow for our salt and snow crew to do their work.

Thank you for your understanding,

Granite Curling Club of West Ottawa

Team Wilson (Charlotte Wilson, Amelia Benning, Abby Rushton, Sydney Anderson and coach Iain Wilson) are heading to the U20 Nationals MARCH 28-April 5 in Sudbury.

Although they officially represent the Rideau Curling club, they're still a part of our Granite Youth family and consider the Granite their second club! You'll see them out on the ice on Saturdays when they aren't playing all over Ontario.

The team would like to thank the club and the members for making dedicated competitive practice ice available for U21 teams. The support of the Granite Club of West Ottawa and its strong commitment to youth curling has helped the team in their endeavours.

Please consider helping them raise funds for their upcoming trip to the nationals!

GRAND IN YOUR HAND! 💰

Team Wilson is running another fundraiser to help cover the costs of our trip to the U20 Nationals, March 28–April 5 in Sudbury, Ontario.

Want a chance to win 1000$? Send an e-transfer to [email protected] to secure your square! Be sure to include the square you’d like in the EMT comments.

Thank you for your support! ❤️🩶
